Some issues:

Per Mathison: His take on the Olivet Discourse is unstable. In that book he divided it into two comings of Christ (70 AD and End Time; pp. 138ff). That's standard partial preterist logic (though it starts to look ironically similar to dispensationalism's multiple comings of Christ). However, in Age to Age (380, especially footnote 128), he collapses it all into one. To be fair, Mathison is not a full preterist, but it's hard to see how.

Per Gerstner: good against old-school Ryrie-ites. Doesn't really address any advances on dispensationalist thought.

I would not suppoort anyone holding to a full preterist position, and Gerstner has some valid points that he makes, but he seems to lack tact and a loving response towards those holding to Dispensational theology.

Part of it he lacks tact. The other part is that dispensationalism has evolved
